This weekend’s Pride parades were events to underlie and demand rights for the LGBT community. Among dances and celebrations, police officers, though, were the only people you would expect to have remained stoic while on duty.

However, in New York City, an officer immersed himself in the festive spirit and wasn’t reluctant to show off some dirty dance moves with a parade marcher.

The video above shows the New York police officer dancing close to one of Pozenka’s fellow marchers, who reportedly had spent all day to get policemen to dance with him.

The New York Police Department has not yet made any comments on whether the officer would be disciplined for dancing suggestively in uniform.
